Katie Brandenburger

Founder &

Communications Specialist

My passion for writing and appetite for excellence has molded me into a multifaceted, yet charismatic writer, communications specialist and public relations practitioner. I believe all things are a work in progress, for there is always room to grow. My personal motto is this: "Tell me something can't be done, and I'm happy to find a way it can."

Katie began her career working at The Walt Disney company, holding positions within the Sales and Travel Operations Public Relations department, and Communications team. A few of her specialties include project management, content writing, social media marketing and management and crisis communications.
